Mountain Lions - 3/31/2015

These are some photos we shot from Mark's deck last night of the mountain lion pride that has been feeding on a mule deer they killed in the yard. The pride appears to be a breeding pair of lions with 3 cubs/kittens. These photos were taken with a Canon EOS 50D and a 600mm f/4 IS USM Canon lens or a 400mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Canon lens.

These mountain lions were first spotted Monday morning 3/30/15 at approx 4:00 a.m. The mountain lion(s) killed a mule deer, which got all of the dogs and coyotes barking, and woke up much of Mark's family.

Mark texted me at 5:00 a.m. and said: "Mountain lion in backyard. Stay on road...come in front door. Don't spook him."


Then, this morning, I went out and retrieved the photos from the new gamecam we had set up last night with a 2 GB SD memory card. Here are a few of those pics:

Here is the first decent picture we got of the lion on Monday morning 3/30/2015 at approximately 5:20 a.m..

Warning: Graphic photos of the mule deer carcass follow. You have been warned!

These photos of the mule deer carcass were taken Monday morning (4/30/2015) once the sun came up.




These are the gamecam photos taken early Wednesday morning (5/1/2015) once the sun came up.
